Okay deep breaths Breaths in Breaths out OH NO NO INFECTION got and update!
The infected now have 3 alpha zombies they removed active cameo (THANK GOD) but they also removed the boost for infected and now they can sprint.
for the survivors they replaced the assault rifle with a magnum with one mag.
It does not seem all that bad I feel the survivors are a lot weaker.
As a last man no more unlimited ammo (Sorry eagle precursor)
What are your thoughts? I think it’s gonna get a lot of getting used too!
Yes I’m aware they have now 2 different versions now
I guess I’ll have to play it to see how it works out, but I’m not sure that I like the AR being replaced. It gave the infected a chance when doing long range lunges. Maybe sprint will counter for the precision of the magnum.
Did they remove Power Installation?
It doesn’t remove the standard Infection game mode from the playlist. You now have Infection and Alpha Zombies sharing the playlist. I don’t mind it, Alpha Zombies is essentially what it was in Halo: Reach, with the infected getting Sprint, rather than Evade, or in this case, Thrusters. Sliding is super effective for the infected as well coupled with Sprint.
Yeah but it has just as much lag as halo reach did so beware for the stupid trades
You have been warned

Oh. That was a crucial piece of info that was missing from the OP.

Halo 4 & 5 still share that sweet, sweet Reach netcode. Feels good.

I admit that when I read the community message on Halo 5, I thought the standard gamemode had been removed as well, but I jumped in for a few matches to find both game modes present. Just adds a little variety to the playlist.
I’m sorry what, did you say they can sprint now!!!
May god have mercy on us all…
Also laughing on them adding a pistol with one shot, if they do that add 5+ rounds for the shotty so the survivors get a chance
I’m simply excited for true survival now. Whenever I’m infected in Halo 5 I never feel scary or powerful enough to win without those few spartans dominating the entire match. With Alpha Zombies, that is delivered!
I was able to play one game of the Alpha Infection and it was terrible. The problem when you’re sprinting and no thrust is you can’t really move in a different direction so you’re an easy kill especially when everyone has a magnum. I didn’t really find the slide to be that useful. The floaty jumps without thrust is also really awkward because thrust helped negate that when trying to get into tight places that were in the middle of the jump height.

That problem has been plaguing infection since day one. Makes both the gamemodes extremely frustrating and is the main reason I never play infection even though I’m a huge fan of it in the previous games. It would be nice to see them fix the current playlist before adding more stuff.

I dont have it too much except when my entire family is over and is on the Wifi (there are nine people in one tiny house.NINE!) aside from that I dont have that problem too much but reach lag was unbearable
infection is way better than how it was before

one mag means just no reloading.
